I don't feel this should be shocking to anyone. LSU over Clemson was a bit of a judgement call by The Internet, it admits, but the LSU strength of schedule is so much better than Clemson that even though Clemson a very dominant regular season, The Internet gave the edge to them.
Memphis and Boise State might be the biggest surprises to anyone, but the numbers were really good, and the only teams that could theoretically rank ahead of them having two losses, the Elo and Fake formula lead The Internet to elevate them.
All right, here are the rankings for posterity:

The Ohio State Buckeyes | 3 |
Oklahoma Sooners | 4 |
